One Central Georgia theater group is making a comeback after almost closing the curtain for the final time last year. The Perry Players are bringing theater back to the community by focusing on the community they perform for.

The sounds that fill the Perry Players Theater almost went silent last year.

"We had a distress call that went out from the current board at that time and we were basically out of money out of energy out of passion out of everything," Perry Players board member Carol Tinsley says.

She says they made tough decisions to move the group forward by finding a balance between business and creativity.

That's right, The Addams Family is coming to the Perry Players Theater. The play is a musical adaptation of the 1960s TV show came to Broadway in 2010. The musical opens Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at the Perry Players Theater on Main Street in Perry.

The plot is centered around the Addams Family's oldest daughter "Wednesday. She wants to get married to a "normal" boy and asks her father, Gomez, to keep it a secret from the family. Hunter Hufnagel directs the musical and says he knows all the hard work is going to pay off tonight.

"My cast has be preparing for 10 weeks, and I've been telling them every night that nothing can compare to the opening night when the house if full of people and they are all cracking up," he said. "Because this show - it's so rapid fire; it's so fast and the cast gets it."
